| St Denys station, Southampton, is a junction where the
routes from Winchester in the north, Havant in the east, Southampton Terminus
(closed to passengers in 1966) to the south and Redbridge to the south west
met. Opened in 1866 as Portswood, a new station was built a quarter of a mile
to the south and renamed St Denys in 1876. The station buildings on platforms 1
and 4 are now privately owned.

The derelict Sandling Station as it was on 23 May 1965, populated by
ex-Pullman Car Camping Coaches in an old siding. The correct name was
"Sandling, for Hythe" as this had been the junction for that line,
just one station long! The old branch platform is to the left of the Camping
Coaches and the covered footbridge over the main line can just be seen beyond
and to the left of them.

| Ivatt class 2 2-6-2T 41325 calls en route from Guildford to Horsham in 1964.
No passengers joined or left this train, which was by no means unusual. The
gentleman with the woolly hat on the platform was the station porter/clerk and
must have led a very stress-free existence!
